ABOUT S.I TRAVEL

Australia holds many world records. It is the smallest, flattest, and driest inhabited continent with the oldest soils in the world, not to mention the least fertile. Despite these limitations, however, Australia boasts of a megadiverse ecosystem because of the great diversity in geography and climate. Albeit, it possesses one of the world’s most unique ecosystems in that the majority of its flora and fauna are endemic to the country.

Australia boasts the Great Barrier Reef and Mount Augustus, the world’s largest coral reef and monolith, respectively. It also hosts 16 World Heritage Sites, some of which are home to koalas, kangaroos, wombats, platypuses, emus and kookaburras.

Due to its ancient land and modern history, Australia offers the best of both worlds when it comes to its famous attractions. First, its natural attractions include the Great Barrier Reef and Ningaloo Reef, Ayers Rock, Katherine Gorge, Arnherm Land, Gold Coast, Frasier Island, Monkey Mia and Bungle Bungles, to name few. Second, its man-made structures like the iconic Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge, Coober Pedy, Australian Parliament House, the National Museum of Australia and the National Gallery of Australia as well as the Australian Memorial War Memorial are popular tourist attractions
